Liu Anyuan ran to the side to write a letter, but Zheng Yuan, who had just returned from the fight in the barracks, pulled Zhao Fu's clothes behind him with some dissatisfaction.

"Zheng Yuan? Can I help you? "Zhao Fu is very attentive to Zheng Yuan's teaching, and there is no trace of private hiding, and Zheng Yuanfei's progress has not failed Zhao Fu's teaching to him, although it is not as good as the current three-meter gas range around Zhao Fu's body, but it can also form a gas domain within one meter, which is simply a mockery for Zhao Fu's years of penance, but Zhao Fu did not have a trace of displeasure, but was happy for Zheng Yuan, who entered the realm quickly, the stronger Zheng Yuan's combat power means the stronger his combat power.

Zheng Yuan can't follow Zhao Fu from time to time after coming to Valen, although Zhao Fu doesn't have a trace of hiding from Zheng Yuan, but Zheng Yuan also knows that after all, he has half Hu blood, even if Zhao Fu believes him, the people in Valen City may not be able to trust him, and he will definitely bring trouble to Zhao Fu if he follows Zhao Fu. As a result, Zheng Yuan spent most of his time fighting with the soldiers in the military camp in Valen City.

"I can also read and write, so I can help you." Zheng Yuan's sinicization is not very smooth, but the expression does not affect communication at all.

Zhao Fu looked at Zheng Yuan's serious expression, smiled, and touched Zheng Yuan's head, although the two were about the same height, and Zhao Fu was slightly younger than Zheng Yuan, but Zheng Yuan had always regarded Zhao Fu as his master and his elder.

"Of course you can help me, but how can our Zheng Yuan be used in such a place?" Zhao Fu patted the handle of his knife, "It's just about to be used on the blade, you are my sharpest knife, of course you have to use it on the battlefield!" ”

Zheng Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded heavily, and knelt down on one knee, "The enemy of the world is the master!" ”

Zheng Yuan always said less than he did, because he didn't need to express any will to the world, in other words, Zhao Fu's will was Zheng Yuan's will.

But Zheng Yuan has never done less, he is the most loyal guard by Zhao Fu's side, and he is the most forgetful dead soldier under Zhao Fu. The people around Zhao Fu often change, sometimes it is Lin Hanyu, sometimes it is Feng Yu, sometimes it is Xia Yingyang, but no matter how it changes, there is a shadow that always follows Zhao Fu, and this shadow is Zheng Yuan.

As Zhao Fu and Xia Yingyang expected, Beihu continued to increase troops to Valen City, although they would also send a large number of cavalry to harass other frontiers, but they would return to camp every night, and it seemed that they were bound to eat Valen City.

The tents outside the city were constantly increasing, and from time to time soldiers of different costumes came from all directions, and then more tents were erected outside the main camp.

"Guess how many people are here this time." Xia Yingyang and Zhao Fu stood on the walls of Valen City to discuss the night attack plan.

"Thirty thousand?" Zhao Fu didn't have much experience, so he could only guess about the number of tents.

"Wrong, at least fifty thousand!" Xia Yingyang smiled and gave the answer: "I'm puzzled, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Fu nodded, the gap between 30,000 and 50,000 is not small, 20,000 people in any war may become a decisive force affecting the battle situation, and as the nominal supreme military commander in the northwest, underestimating or overestimating the enemy's combat strength will have an impact on the military strength of the northwest.

"The number of their tents is indeed small, but it is indeed about 30,000 people." Xia Yingyang explained to Zhao Fu about the war, "But you can't just look at the number of tents. ”

"Can't just look at the number of tents?"

"The Hu people are different from us, many of them don't need shelter at all, and they can live directly with the horses." Xia Yingyang pointed out the mystery.

Zhao Fuyi thought that this was indeed the case, there were also a large number of slaves among the Hu people, and the slaves had always lived directly in the stables, but although they were slaves, their combat power should not be underestimated.

"So, this time we can't just look at the number of the enemy's tents, look at their cooking smoke."

"Smoke?"

"Yes, pay attention, their cooking smoke has been burning for an hour, this is not a normal time, so the enemy must have hidden his own strength this time." Xia Yingyang carefully taught Zhao Fu.

"Uncle Xia, I've been taught!" Zhao Fu suddenly realized, and finally understood what it means to talk on paper, war is always ever-changing, experience is the most important knowledge on the battlefield, and wit is always more effective than wit.

Outside the city of Valen, in the tent of the general of the Hu people, several young leaders of the brother Yishe were gathering together to discuss the strategy of conquering the city of Valen.

"Hulude, why do we have to eat a meal separately! Wait so long, brothers. ”

"Don't worry, there's a purpose." The young man known as Hulude sat on a bearskin, which was enough to show that his status was higher than that of all the generals present.

"Hmph, if you don't tell me a reason, I'll go and report you to the Great Khan, don't think that you met the Great Khan earlier than us, so you are more noble than us!"

Even if Hu Lude hated the young general who was yelling in front of him, he had to frown and explain it clearly. Huluyud and Ahuyu have known each other since childhood, and the two get along very well, and Ahuyu has also received great help from Huluyu, so the person who benefited the most from Ahuyu becoming a khan is Huluyude. But because of this, all kinds of gossip began to circulate, and the reason why Hu Lude took the initiative to petition to be the staff officer of the vanguard army was to prove that he did not rely on his relationship with Ah Hu Yu to obtain such a position, but that he deserved such a position.

The shouting man, Kiyura, was one of the backbone of the brothers, and although he was reckless, he was a man of astonishing brute strength and obedient to Ahu Yu's words, so he was also sent here to attack the city of Valen.

For the ambitious Ahuyu, since Valen City is his first stop in the Central Plains, it will also be the battle with the greatest credit, so he naturally has to give this credit to his own people.

"Kiyula, let me ask you, who is better at defending the city than the Hu people and the Han people, and who is better at field warfare?"

"Naturally, our Hu people are stronger in the field!"

"Then are we going to play siege warfare with those Han people?"

"This ......"

"It seems that you also know that instead of a siege war, it is better to lure out those cunning and stupid Han people and annihilate the enemy's main forces in a field battle." Seeing that Kiyura was silent, Hu Lude was a little complacent, and the corners of his mouth rose to say his plan.

"But how can we get the Han people out of the city?"

That's why we should eat in batches! The Han people are cunning, if they stick to the city of Valen, we have no way to take them, but if we pretend that our troops are insufficient, with the psychology of the Han people who love to take advantage, we will definitely try to go out of the city to check our reality, at this time we only need to feint, and wait for the main force of the Han people to go out of the city and then use the hidden forces to wipe out those Han people! ”

"Hmph, there are so many warriors in our North Garden, why do you need to be so ......" Kiyura is not stupid, otherwise he would not be so trusted by Ahuyu, he understood what Hu Lude meant, but he didn't want to be happy on his face.

"Kiyura, I know that too, but this is to reduce the casualties of our Beiting warriors! Our warriors should enjoy those Han women instead of spending their lives on siege warfare! Knowing that Kiyura had been persuaded by himself, Hulud quickly found a staircase for Kiyura to descend.

"Well, that's right! For our warriors! Kiyura raised her glass.

"It's also for those white Han girls!" Hu Lude smiled and raised his glass.

"For the warriors! For the of the! "The wine glasses in the tent are all up.

Although both sides were in front of Valen, there wasn't much friction other than the occasional scout.

Finally, on the fifth day, a scout came back from outside the city with a happy face: "The Hu people have withdrawn!" The Hu people have withdrawn! ”

"Retirement?" Zhao Fu was still in the General's Mansion to read the war reports from all over the country, with Liu Anyuan's assistance, Zhao Fu's work was much easier, although there were more war reports about the attacks in various places in the past few days, but fortunately, the enemy's offensive was not fierce, and after "stubborn resistance", they all persevered.

"Well, I heard that the scouts all the way saw several groups of men and horses quietly withdrawn from the back camp." Liu Anyuan added on the side.

"What's going on?" Zhao Fu asked himself, if he was the commander of Beihu, he would definitely not attack the city with sabers and bows and arrows, could it be that the other party retreated in the face of difficulties? Suddenly, Zhao Fu thought of something, and hurriedly asked Zheng Yuan to call Xia Yingyang, who didn't know which tree to hide under to drink.

"What's going on?" Xia Yingyang's serious days have become less and less since Zhao Fu came to Valen, and he has gradually returned to his previous alcoholism.

"Why are you still drinking?" Zhao Fu was a little unhappy, although it had not evolved from local friction to a full-scale war, but this was only because of the lack of a fuse, and Xia Yingyang was still drinking here......

"It's okay, it's okay, you're not going to do anything big here." Xia Yingyang poured himself another sip of wine, "You are the master's child, you have to believe in yourself." ”

This is a rare time that Xia Ying Yang called the old town guard master directly, Zheng Yuan stayed aside, but after listening to it, his pupils were dilated, and then he didn't have any expression. Zhao Fu knew that Xia Yingyang would also call this father master on his side in private, just like Zheng Yuan and himself......

Do you believe in yourself? Zhao Fu took a deep breath, he extremely hoped that he could become the kind of warrior with a knife in the midst of thousands of troops, and he extremely hoped that he could sit on the hill of the enemy's corpses and watch the bloody sunset, but could he really do it? Zhao Fu has always had such a question in his heart. It's not that he is not confident, but that he is like that, and he is too far from him.

Too far away, it is easy to understand the illusion.

"Then I say, Valen City, as long as I don't leave the city, then I can be invincible!" Zhao Fu stared at Xia Yingyang's decadent face and said categorically.

Xia Yingyang was in a trance, and then seemed to take a big sip of wine again in order to moisten his throat.
